Telecity: the green data centre

Breadcrumb

In 2010, Bouygues Energies & Services handed over the most advanced green data centre in Europe, in terms of environmental standards, performance and service quality, to Telecity group.

2,500

tonnes reduction in CO2 emissions

2,000

m² of plant rooms

500

m³ of high-capacity underground basins

One of the project’s biggest challenges was to build Telecity group’s third French data centre within a very short time-frame.

Bouygues Energies & Services installed all the power and communications voltage along with the air conditioning system of the Aubervilliers data centre, while meeting the most stringent requirements to ensure the availability, redundancy, safety, continuity and service quality of the facility.

For this contract, Bouygues Energies & Services placed energy efficiency and respect for the environment at the heart of the project:

A 50% reduction in electricity consumption

A reduction in heating from sunlight via the use of a white roof

Air conditioning without chemical additives

Almost zero use of mains water thanks to cutting edge hygrometric control

Limitation of run-off water

Limitation of noise and light pollution

Priority given to eco-construction techniques through the use of carefully-selected materials
